Hello all, you guys have been a huge help in the past and I cannot seem to find a fix for this.
I have used Meebo IM for a very long time and decided to give the stock IM client another try. The issue is that it is not in the application launcher. If I do go to Settings > Manage Applications, IM is listed.
How do I get the IM back?
is there another way to launch it
I am using Cyanogen 4.2.14.1
thanks guys
It was taken out to save space more than a month ago. I think it was around the 15-20mb area.
thanks for the info man
any recommendations for a stable IM app?
Meebo seems to disconnect if backgrounded for to long
No problem. I never had problems with meebo honestly, just be sure to set that to ignore if you, like me, use a end all task killer widget.
I just use gtalk and I'm always logged in with that, but still use meebo to check facebook contacts then log out because of the fact it doesn't end and I kept getting messages because people thought I was at the computer.

I've been using blackberry for a while and the facebook application on it is perfect. Now after switching to Leo, I've noticed that the FB app on that one is weak.. I just would like to know if there is a better app out there. The most important function I'm after is the push notification; I would like to get a notification on my phone(either on Home or maybe a specific tab), each time I get a notification on FB. I came across Babbler for Android, I believe what I'm looking for is something like that...
Thanks in advance for the help

The site (especially http://touch.facebook.com ) is not bad but the option I'm missing from blackberry is the push notification. The only I managed to get notifications now is via email
you can get texts from facebook whenever you get messages or posts or whatever. unless your trying to not use texts of course it wont help

I'm familiar with this option; however, I'm looking for a more "integrated" application (with the OS I mean) such as the one for Blackberry.. I really hope people at Facebook or Microsoft will develop something similar..
That's the ONLY reason I'm hanging onto my blackberry. WinMo's FB app SUCKS. I was just trying this morning different apps which claim they can sync up. So far I haven't found anything that remotely compares to BB's interface. *sigh*
Try this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-fim-facebook-instant-messenger.html
It has a mode that integrates with the web, and seems to cache your credentials so that you don't have to manually log on. It does have some ads but it's free.
Oh, and of course it lets you do FB IM messages.

Facebook Apps!
If you do some forum thread searching you will find a couple of interesting items regarding this issue...
1) There is a thread from the writers of the Microsoft Facebook APP, who ARE aware of the limitations of the standard app, and are working on an improved version for WM!
2) There is also a team of equally pi$$ed off WM users who want a decent FB app, that have start writing their own! At present they are assembling a coding team, but SAMPLE images are available and they are making mighty efforts to accomplish what we all want!
I love trying new Rom's. The only problem that I have is syncing facebook to my contacts most of the time its not working and when I do get it to work I don't want to change anything. then it just stops working. Is there anyone working on a fix for this cause I have talked to both HTC and Facebook guys and there blaming each other. There are some smart people in this forum. I would think that someone would come up with a workaround
have you tried this (posted in xtrSENSE thread by xtr):
Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.
so, using a sense-based ROM, i'd imagine that you'd want the HTC Sense setting on (in FB). if using non-sense based, follow the above.
hope it helps!
I believe the facebook syncing has gotten MORE reliable with the July OTA update.
Try Evil Eris 4.0 when it comes out or Plain Jane v2 or Ivan's Eris_Official 1.1 when it comes out.
I leave always-on mobile on, and never have trouble with Facebook syncing. It never works right away, but does eventually. Sometimes if I open the people app, click the little recycling looking circle, and hit menu > refresh, the facebook syncing happens faster.
If you watch the Android SDK, you can watch it happening when it's happening. There's lots of data for it to download.

Is there anyway to incorporate July OTA update into the current roms now like an update that I can flash I have search the forum and google with no luck
I am running the new xtrSense 3.1 with the July update in it.
I too can not get FB to sync with my contacts. I can not get one single FB friend to appear on my phone.
I have also tried the FB settings as suggested but no such luck.
Kinda blows.
I have not been able get htcfacebook to setup on any htc rom i try since late friday... i posted a thread in general on it that has a little info. I am not aware of anything we can do until htc and facebook fix it...

My wife's Eris allows for FB Sync with her contacts. I am looking at it right now, now issue at all.
I have no idea what ROM she is on, Sense based. In software info it doesn't say what it is. I think it might be the Leak4BaseROM, it only allows OC to 710.

From my testing and research, the issue seems to only effect when you first setup the account so if you were connected BEFORE the issue, continuing operations seem to mostly work... not sure if this others experience though.

Give this a try...
Follow what tenzomonk posted. This is what I did about a month ago to get mine to sync. I was getting the com.htc.bg error and facebook would not sync.
Go to facebook online and sign in. Go to your applications and delete 'Facebook for Android'. Then go to settings> Accounts & Sync on your phone and remove 'Facebook for HTC Sense. Now restart your phone and go back into Accounts & Sync and add 'Facebook for HTC Sense' again. This should solve the issue with com.htc.bg and your facebook account should now sync properly! Also, if you want your facebook contacts added to your google contacts, open contacts/people and then hit the menu button, then view, and then check facebook. This will add them to your google contacts.
Hope this helps.

What you all are seeing is the previously sync'd pictures from prior to the hose.
Go to the updates page and look at how many days ago the status update was.
It wasn't today. It'll probably say 5 or 6 days ago.
I search market for
Syncmypix
when I have an AOSP ROM or if I dont' want HTC Sync set up (due to having a snooping girlfriend).
Sets up your pictures.
No little 'F' in the corner.
Good luck
Really, this facebook issue has 0 to do with your ROM. It is all HTC/Facebook. If I restore a NAND from Wednesday, it *appears* to work ok, but as someone else mentioned, the data is 5 or 6 days old. Try adding a friend on facebook and they won't show up.
I flashed the *exact* same ROM again yesterday and they won't sync at all. HTC and Facebook both know about it, but it just went down overnight Thursday. They only had Friday to work on it, as I doubt either company wants to pay a bunch of devs OT to work on it over the weekend.

Thanks, pkopalek, for the tip on syncmypix. Works great. I don't know if I had problems before rooting yesterday, but haven't been able to get facebook sync to work since then. I was getting frustrated waiting for HTC and facebook to fix this. Now I don't have to wait.
Just an update. It looks like HTC is looking at it.

You're doing nothing wrong. The issue was with the servers on HTC & Facebook's end. Nothing to do with your phone in particular. The issue was a global one.
The issue appears now to be rectified as I am seeing reports everywhere that people are now able to sync and I, myself, noticed all my facebook contacts & status' were sync'd this morning.
It's fixed!!

Hi guys,
I'd like to hear from you about your impressions and preferences.
Months ago I switched from eBuddy to Imo.im cause of massive battery drain in the 1st. Imo was massively better.
In your opinion, has eBuddy improved in the last few months ?
Does it reconnect aggressively and reliably when connection gets lost and/or acounts get accessed from a pc ?
I'm particularly interested in gtalk, (eventually skype) and facebook protocols effectiveness.
Thank you all !
It's been a while since I used eBuddy. I only have WLM contacts and I always use MSN Talk. It's by far the best MSN type client I've tried. I use the free version, but there's a paid version as well.
i'm using beejive and it's using Google Push, so the battery will not drain eventhough i on it everyday and night.
I prefer IMO.IM as it doesn't need that extra log in account, like in eBuddy.
IMO.IM is easy, fast, simple ... but it doesn't have groups (based on IM account, apart from Skype), and the Chat History is nowhere to be found although there's an option in Preferences to turn it on.
Do you see history anywhere??
i tried imo but i have problems with logging in and out.
i wasn't visible for people but imo showed me i was logged in.
now i use Trillian and it works fine.
ok it's not free but works perfect for me..
Too bad they dont mention which accounts it supports. Need to look it up later on.

History is save in the IMO server. If you login in, then you can see it..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ahh, on server ... pretty useless ... I dont see any history on imo on Android anyways.
Still, I love that messneger. But still have doubts whether to use the build in Gtalk or IMO. Same with FB chat.
But good for Y!, MSN, AIM.
+1 on Trillian. Great app, and goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the PC & web clients!
First used ICQ for Android. This was bad. For a long time i use Meebo IM, which i can recommend. I did not try eBuddy&Co, but Meebo does not give me a reason to do this. IMHO the disadvantage, one cannot transfer files, is not that important.
I also use Meebo with Skype, quite nice
Ok, so I posted this question up in General but got mocked and no help, so maybe I can try and get somewhere with the devs here.
I love the fact that the ability to login and sync your facebook twitter & myspace is stock on the Epic, problem is, while I can log in to facebook, & twitter......MySpace tells me "Login Failed. Try Again" every time. I've tried to look up the problem, but it seems like this is an anomaly (sp?). Anyone have any clues? I do still use myspace and handle business (I'm a DJ). Before anyone asks, yes the login information is correct, and I can log in via the website itself, and the myspace app. I don't want to use the app though, and I do want to have all my different networks in one place like it's supposed to be so any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's so great about the phone that comes with this phone? I tried using it and it gave me problems too. Just settle for something else, who knows it might be better .
Sent while your mom was putting her clothes back on (Epic4G gotta love it.)
Well what's so great about it is A) It's a feature on my phone that I'd like to have work & B) I'd like to sync my MySpace just as I sync my Facebook & Twitter. I actually do use Touchwiz, and the Friends widget on there so since that updates all at once and gives me my updates all on the same widget I would like to get that working. Now if there's a widget that will show you your Facebook, MySpace, & Twitter updates and let you update them all in one spot I'm open to suggestions.
Who still uses Myspace...that's prolly why you can't log in cause that ish is abandoned lol...

Come on man he just said he got that ich on the last thread he was looking for help on
Thread moved to General.
Anyone else having issues with the email app? Mine seems to just keep spinning when trying to download new emails so I have to keep killing it and relaunching it to get new emails. Sometimes even after I see the list of messages, if I click on one to read it just churns like its trying to d/l message. I have to kill and relaunch again. Irritating as you can imagine.
I'm on yahoo and believe I'm on the latest release. I'm not on any fancy from, just the stock + updates. Yes. I'm the original owner.
Just looking for guidance here. Seemed to be fine until the last few months. I thought it might have been the widget so I removed that and just check email from the app itself. No go. I really kinda miss the nice widget UI that tells me how messages in queue but will just take a consistently working email app I don't have to re-launch every time I want to check email.
Thanks in advance for any help.
